"Mothers in the mother of all parliaments are not to be seen or heard it seems," Stella Creasy complained.
A British MP won a promise of parliamentary reforms on Wednesday after she was rebuked by an official for bringing her sleeping baby to a debate.
Stella Creasy, an opposition Labour lawmaker who has campaigned for MPs to be offered full maternity cover, received the warning after speaking at a debate on Tuesday while holding her three-month-old son Pip.
The London MP tweeted an email from an official at the House of Commons citing a rule that "you should not take your seat in the chamber when accompanied by a child".
"Mothers in the mother of all parliaments are not to be seen or heard it seems," Creasy complained.
